Top scorer out for Chasetown
Chasetown are without 12-goal top scorer Dean Perrow for tomorrow's clash against fellow high-fliers Sutton Coldfield.
Chasetown are without 12-goal top scorer Dean Perrow for tomorrow's clash against fellow high-fliers Sutton Coldfield.
Perrow strained a hamstring in Wednesday's 3-1 win at Cinderford and is out of the trip to the side second in British Gas Business Midlands division.
His absence allows Nathan Lamey his first Scholars start after making his debut as a late substitute in midweek.
Chasetown will again be without defender Chris Slater duo to an ankle injury. Kevin Thompson again deputises.
But there is no room for right wing-back John Branch, who missed the Cinderford clash because of a parents' evening. Paul Spacey is set to keep his place.
Assistant boss Paul Jones believes former Wolves reserve Lamey, the division's 30-goal top scorer for Bromsgrove last season, can make up for Perrow's absence.
"It's a big game, but Nathan is a big-game player and he has the experience and know-how to hold it up for us," said Jones.
"He might only last an hour because he hasn't played for about a month. He's done some running but it's not the same as games, which he needs to get sharper.
"But he got 15 minutes the other night and showed some good touches and got a shot on target."
Player-coach Andy Turner will be watching FA Cup opponents Port Vale at Oldham tomorrow, but Jones believes the players' minds won't be distracted.
"There were some tired legs and minds on Wednesday and it showed, but the manager Charlie Blakemore has banned talk of the Cup and I think we got any hangover out of the way," said Jones.
"Sutton is always a difficult one and it's important to get three points because we're so many games behind."
n Rushall boss Paul Holleran has moved to bolster his strikeforce with the loan signing of teenage Walsall forward Harry Harris.
Holleran swooped for the first year pro after losing a fifth forward, new signing Arron Farrell, to injury.
Holleran is also hoping to sign another striker in time for tomorrow's trip to Bedworth United, when he will also be without Lee Gough, who has a foot injury.
